Favorite jazz guitarist

Lee Ritenour
A bit of George Benson goes a long way, but I can't take more than an hour of him unfortunately.

 

Pat Metheny Is one of my fav. jazz player

 

Guthrie Govan. The best by far.

 

allan holdsworth , frank gambale , al di meola . my top 3

 

I'd have to say Herb Ellis. I grew up watching him play at our church and even met him a few times. Funny, I think I kind of play guitar like him too.

 

Jim Hall passed away a few weeks ago.
The "Gentleman of Jazz".

R.I.P.

 

I've been really into Grant Green and Pat Martino lately, respects to John Scofield, of course.

I would also say Jack Pearson and Jimmy Herring if it weren't for the fact that both are such ridiculously versatile and complicated guitarists I wouldn't call either straight out jazz - which isn't at all a bad thing
